Happy Friday! I hope you have had a wonderful week! 
“For all the things my hands have held, the best by far is you.” ~Author Unknown
I wanted to share with you another very interesting article I read in the YC magazine, as it has so many and also has a valuable understanding of what our program is based on. As you are all aware, both classrooms at WF are multi-aged programs. I wanted to share with you the benefits of having a multi-aged classroom for infants and toddlers from this magazine.
“The developmental benefits for infants and toddlers in multiage settings are many, but four benefits in particular are prominent: forming a sense of empathy, nuturing attachment and continuity, building stronger family relationships, and providing opportunities for peer teaching.”
We as teachers in the Infant and Toddler classroom work with your children every day to become the best they can be in all these attributes and learn all the valuable milestones they need to be successful and eventually move on to the preschool program.
Enjoy the pictures from our beautiful Friday!
